She echoed modesty, virtue, and simplicity with her hair braided beautifully and pulled tight in a bun that gave Ahtisa’s frame a clean and lightweight look.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763696899099SnapInsta.to_581287594_18543712687044591_2803045065607511256_n.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photography by Seven Barretto</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Angelic Beauty in Pinctada Gown </strong></div><p>When she came out on the stage, hinting at the color of the gown she wore at the Preliminaries, we couldn’t help but guess, “Does it shimmer in gold?”, “Is she draped in black?”, “Is she boldly glammed?”. Questions proceeded to pile up. And when the camera finally focused on her, the beauty stood out: her hair waved and cascaded beautifully to her Pinctada gown. Angelic beauty, indeed!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763696928634SnapInsta.to_584106740_18158716744397868_7696674659633013859_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">@themissuniverseph</span></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Reverse Walk Pasarela</strong></div><p>Truly remarkable candidate, displaying perfect camera awareness with a “face card on point” and impeccable timing for her poses. Her presence is amplified by a naturally executed, sexy, and sultry reverse turn, making it seem effortless, as if “walking on cloud nine,” which enhanced the length of her shoulders and sculpted her waistline. Her walk is, perhaps, our new favorite! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763696965454583754323_18543992458044591_4200451922890444149_n.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo by Seven Barretto</span></span></span></div>
